Dangeroussongbeliever - It's Alright

i'm defending public schools with my life not because I had a good experience in them but because I refuse to let politicians convince people we need a society where school is exclusive to rich kids.

let me tell you something. the public school in my (low income) hometown was fucking TERRIBLE once you got past early elementary to the point where teachers would tell parents to get their kids out (this is why I kept changing schools). however, years later, that school merged with a public school in another town and simply having more resources made it so much better it now has a normal if not positive reputation. so yeah there are in fact public schools in a terrible situation. but if you look at them and say "this is why we should get rid of public schools and replace them with private schools" you're insane.

and since this is tumblr and no one has critical thinking skills, allow me to clarify this is not an endorsement of current educational standards and regulations in public schools, or support for bullying (?)

I have never known peace

Like the damp grass that yields to me

I have never known hunger

Like these insects that feast on me

A thousand teeth

And yours among them, I know

Our hungers appeased

Our heartbeats becoming slow

We lay here for years or for hours

Thrown here or found

To freeze or to thaw

So long, we'd become the flowers

Two corpses we were

Two corpses I saw

And they'd find us in a week

When the weather gets hot

After the insects have made their claim

I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you

I have never known sleep

Like the slumber that creeps to me

I have never known color

Like this morning reveals to me

And you haven't moved an inch

Such that I would not know

If you sleep always like this

The flesh calmly going cold

We lay here for years or for hours

Your hand in my hand

So still and discreet

So long, we'd become the flowers

We'd feed well the land

And worry the sheep

And they'd find us in a week

When the cattle show fear

After the insects have made their claim

After the foxes have known our taste

I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you

They'd find us in a week (Lay here for years or for hours)

When the weather gets hot (So long, we'd become the flowers)

They'd find us in a week (Lay here for years or for hours)

When the cattle show fear (So long, we'd become the flowers)

And they'd find us in a week

When the buzzards get loud

After the insects have made their claim

After the foxes have known our taste

After the raven has had its say

I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you

I'd be home with you
